DESCRIBE THE PRESENT AND ORIGINAL (IF KNOWN) PHYSICAL APPEARANCE

The Wholesale District within the Central Business District of Kansas City, Missouri, encompasses five full and portions of ten additional city blocks. The historic district is situated in the general vicinity of West 6th Street, Wyandotte Street, West 11th Street and Washington Street.

The Wholesale District consists of sixty-one (61) architecturally and historically important buildings. The majority of the structures line three major focal thoroughfares in the area; Broadway, West 8th Street and West 7th Street. The area is plotted in a directional plan grid. Named thoroughfares generally slope from south to north in a moderate decline. Numbered streets generally slope from west to east in a gradual decline. Some thoroughfares are discontiguous due to the construction of the 6th Street Trafficway and Interstate 70 highway. The buildings within the district were erected during the period from approximately 1874-1931, reflecting a variety of popular architectural designs spanning 57 years of Kansas City development. The majority of buildings under nomination are designed in the Commercial style of architecture, many embellished with details derived from other popular architectural modes from this period.

The historic district is primarily commercial and industrial in character, also containing some multi-family residential structures. The majority of buildings are rectangular in plan, constructed near the street lines on rectangular lots. Railroad freight tracks service manufacturing buildings along May Street and West 7th Street. All buildings, varying in height from one to eight stories, are constructed of brick in various colors with stone, terracotta and/or cast iron embellishments. Foundations consist of three types: buildings constructed before approximately 1895 use rubble limestone; buildings constructed before 1908 use spread footings; buildings constructed after 1908 use reinforced concrete.

The buildings in the Wholesale District are listed as follows (numbers refer to location on the site plan map):

1. Barton Brothers Shoe Company Building (Davidson's Enterprise Wholesale, Inc. Warehouse), 607-609 Central Street/ 606-608 Wyandotte Street, 1895-1896, architect - Shepard & Farrar.

CONDITION

The Wholesale District as a whole is in good condition. There is a high rate of occupancy of the buildings by businesses and industries in the district.

PRESENT STATUS

Portions of the present historic district are presently included under a three-phase redevelopment plan which would involve demolishing buildings along the extreme fringes of the historic district.9 · The blocks involved include Nos. 2, 5, 18, 21, 22, 39, 55, 71, and 72. The central core of buildings around the intersection of West 8th Street and Broadway are under no immediate threat of demolition. To the north, south, and west outside the historic district, the area consists primarily of vacant lots and surface parking lots. Smaller commercial structures and surface parking lots are located to the east of the historic district.

The Wholesale District in Kansas City, Missouri, is a significant, north end industrial and commercial area, which greatly contributed to Kansas City's position as a major jobbing center for the manufacturing and distribution of a variety of wholesale goods at the turn of the century.l The wholesale businesses within the district made and/or distributed such products as clothing, dry goods, pharmaceuticals, home furnishings, furniture, paper products, wholesale printing, hats, caps and millinery goods .2

The Wholesale District, spanning the years from ca. 1874-1931, displays an elaborate array of commercial architecture developed from Victorian modes of the third quarter of the nineteenth century; to massive, multi-story buildings, influenced by design and engineering innovations coming from Chicago architecture at the turn of the century; to simplified lines found in modern commercial architecture. The Wholesale District, particularly along Broadway, West 8th and May Streets, provides nearly unaltered, monumentally proportioned, commercial and industrial streetscapes, preserved intact.

HISTORICAL DATA

The Wholesale District began as a residential area during the early years of incorporation of the young City of Kansas. Much of the area was laid out in the 1850's by Colonel Kersey Coates, who had settled here in 1854.3 Coates platted many of the streets bisecting the district which included, Broadway linking the center of the City of Kansas with the town of Westport to the south and the Santa Fe Trail beyond. At the intersection of Broadway and Lancaster Street (now West 10th Street), Coates erected,in 1868, the first Coates House Hotel (demolished in 1889}. Two years later, diagonally across from the hotel, Coates erected the popular Coates Opera House (destroyed in 1901).4 This initial development transformed the intersection into one of the city's major cultural hubs for many years.

Broadway began to blossom as a burgeoning corrvnercial avenue in the 1870s and the early 1880s. Two of the surviving buildings from this period include the building originally housing the Brackett Brothers Drugstore, 935 Broadway (site #69) and the Thayer Building 820-822 Broadway (site #49). Much of the surrounding area, east and west of Broadway still remained residential in character until the mid-1880s.5

By 1885, a major construction boom occurring in the city reached a climactic peak. It began to change the residential aspects into a commercial area. In 1886, a national competition was held for the design·of the second Kansas City Board of Trade

Building which was to be built on a tract of land at West 8th and Wyandotte Streets. The commission was awarded to Burnham and Root of Chicago.6 The construction of the Board of Trade/Exchange Building (demolished in 1968), called the attention of capitalists from financial centers of the East Coast and Chicago to the possibilities of new markets and investments in Kansas City.? By 1890, commercial buildings, many financed by eastern capitalists, studded the area around the Board of Trade/ Exchange Building. These included: The Missouri, Kansas & Texas Trust Company, 622-24 Wyandotte Street (site #4); the Builders & Traders Exchange Building, 616 Central Street {site #9 ); and the Syndicate Building, 618-20 Wyandotte Street (site #3). Several prominent hotels were also built within the district during this period, including:

the Phoenix Hotel, 300-306 West 8th Street (site #22); the Exchange Hotel, 301-303 West 8th Street (site #23), and the Hotel Winwood, 707-711 Washington Street (site #39), as well as several commercial buildings along Broadway.

The warehouse and wholesale houses of the nineteenth century were situated in the West Bottoms and near the bend of the Missouri River. However, in 1898, Swofford Brothers Dry Goods Comoany began construction of a new building at West 8th Street and Broadway.a It was this building that signaled the shift of the wholesale district, south and east to 8th Street. Within a ten year period, West 8th Street was lined with large wholesale houses for several prominent jobbing finns.9

The continued development of the Wholesale District extended south along Broadway to 11th Street. By approximately 1918, most of the Wholesale District resembled much of its present layout. Kansas City, during this period had become a great jobbing center because its commercial territory was the largest ever covered by any distribution point in the world. ll-Oue to its location, Kansas City became a great division point for nearly all of the nation's railroads, and the wholesale houses of Kansas City distributed finished articles from the manufacturing centers of the world, to the developing American West and Southwest.llMany of the wholesale houses, concentrated in the Wholesale District, were major factors in this trade, increasing the economic growth of Kansas City.

Following the end of World War I, Kansas City's importance as a territorial capital in jobbing circles somewhat declined and was overshadowed by its importance as a national textile manufacturing center. The development of Kansas City's garment industries began during this period when small areas of the upper floors of several wholesale buildings, mostly on Broadway, were utilized for sewing space. In the early twenties, the growing industry was considered largely as a convenient auxiliary of the jobbing trade. Early factories soon grew and other manufacturers arrived. The Kansas City gannent industry brought in notable designers. This development then, as now, contributed to Kansas City's reputation

as the jobbing center for wholesale garments and clothing products.12Kansas City-made garments dominated much of the U.S. market. Such jobbers as H.T. Poindexter, Dawson & Co., Geisler Apparel Company, Sam Reichman, Fried-Siegel Company, Gate City Garment Company (many of these still in existence), were sole representatives of several locally based clothing manufacturers.13The core of the garment trade was centered around the intersection of West 8th Street and Broadway within the area that is still popularly known as Kansas City's Garment District.

The survey of Missouri's sites is based on the selection of sites as they relate to theme studies in "Missouri: State Historic Preservation Plan." The Wholesale District is therefore being nominated to the National Register of Historic Places as an example of the themes of "Architecture," "Economics," "Society," "Technology," and "Urban Design."
